Chapter 260: The Ant Appears

This strange hole once condensed together like some crack in the mountain. But now the size of the cave is no different from what we first saw, think about the beginning, I have come with Zhang Butcher, and I have also entered this cave with Sister Li, and the strangeness encountered in it is simply shocking, at that time, we were still ignorant of these strangeness, but now, we are slowly understanding the ins and outs.

I hid behind a boulder near the entrance of the cave, and the scenes of the past flashed quickly in my mind, and I couldn't help but feel a little emotional: it was this demonic blind man, for more than 300 years, how many people had died tragically in his hands, how many people had died because of his family, how many wives had been separated, how many unimaginable horrors he had created, but no one could defeat him, and he was difficult to even meet a weighty opponent.

And it was just a few of us who were able to compete with him, and although the struggle with him was so hard and so difficult, we had a slight upper hand, and this is what we are most proud of and proud of.

In this short period of time, this kind of struggle has entered a white-hot state, and I am afraid that the victory or defeat will soon be known.

The moon rose higher and brighter, and I looked up at my watch—it was 10:40 at night! There is still some time before midnight, but we are all very excited, and we are all looking forward to those strange ants appearing on time, as the Taoist priest said, and then we can follow those ants and really enter this most strange and mysterious cave.

Although our recent operations have been in full swing, we can say that we are "busy but not chaotic", and we know that in the face of such a formidable enemy, the slightest negligence can lead to a total loss. So, although we went to Shanghai these days, we still didn't forget to carry those corpse worms with us, because we all know that only in this way can we ensure that our inner thoughts will not be spied on by the blind man -- his mind-reading ability is too strong.

In the contest with the blind man, our experience of fighting against him is also growing.

Xiao Lei told us before the action that when acting in an unfamiliar and dangerous area, we should always pay attention to concealment, so we did not stand at the entrance of the cave with a loud horn, but found a nearby boulder, quietly lay down, hid there, and strictly forbade loud talking and laughing.

Not only that, but we were almost back-to-back, looking intently in different directions, so that I could spot any danger in that direction. Because here, a few of us almost died last time, and we all know that there are so many unpredictable dangers and so many unexpected mysteries in this valley that we dare not take it lightly.

Time passed minute by minute, and before I knew it, it was soon eleven forty minutes, and the time was almost up, and it was time to act!

We held the weapon in our hands, and by the moonlight, we pressed against the rock wall, and slowly moved towards the entrance of the cave. At this time, the valley in the middle of the night becomes more mysterious and eerie. The wind was blowing, and it didn't seem to be small, and the branches were squeaking, and this irregular sound was undoubtedly once our fear.

Before coming to the valley this time, Xiao Lei, as a special soldier, had repeatedly reminded us that when we act in the moonlit night, we must pay special attention to our shadow, if you are not careful, the shadow can kill you, and he has personally experienced this.

When he was on the border and participated in the hunt for drug lords, once, on such a moonlit night, Xiao Lei was rounded up by seven or eight drug lords in the mountains, and he hid on the hillside, in a simple stone house, which was built by local hunters, but it has been abandoned.

When Xiao Lei was hiding in the house, suddenly, a shadow was slowly projected on the window, he immediately knew that it was a drug lord, so he fired a few shots from the window to the outside, it was these few shots, he killed three drug lords, and the death of these three drug lords was not discovered by Xiao Lei because of the sound, but their shadows exposed them, and finally brought them to death.

We all have deep memories of this story, so this operation, we also paid special attention to our own shadow. If it weren't for Xiao Lei's reminder, none of us would have known that this situation would still occur when we act on a moonlit night.

But just as we were slowly moving towards the entrance of the cave, an accident happened - I suddenly heard a sharp whistle coming from the rock wall we passed!

In this dangerous environment, we were already loud enough, not to mention that suddenly there was such a sharp strange sound, a few of us seemed to be pricked by a needle, and quickly dodged out, but only Xiao Lei quickly went around behind another boulder, which was hidden, and I, Sister Li, and Hongmei stood a few meters away, staring blankly at the rock wall that made a sharp scream.

Xiao Lei saw us like this, and hurriedly reminded in a low voice: "Don't hide yet", hearing him say this, we quickly hid behind the boulder.

And so, for two minutes, we were behind the boulder, nervous, but strangely enough, after that sharp sound, there was no more abnormality, and the surroundings were still quiet. After a few more minutes, there was really no danger, and we slowly walked out from behind the boulder.

Xiao Lei looked at the rock wall, as if thinking of something, he walked towards the position where the sharp sound was made just now, and then attached to the specific part of the rock wall, passed by again, to our surprise, when Xiao Lei passed by that place, the sharp sound sounded again, but the strange thing is that once the body passed through that place, the sharp sound would stop abruptly.

What the hell is going on?

Xiao Lei explained that this is most likely caused by the special structure of the rock wall, and when the human body passes through a certain part of the rock wall, the air flow into that part will also change, so it will emit this frightening scream, which is the same principle as blowing a whistle. In addition to the special structure of the rock wall, this may also have something to do with the strong wind tonight.

Grandma's, this mountain is like a mysterious monster that hides countless mysteries. Strange things and phenomena will be encountered all the time, all the time, everywhere.

Looking at the time, it was already more than 11:50 in the evening, there was really no time, it was almost midnight, we didn't dare to stop any longer, and immediately walked to the entrance of the cave - we were waiting for the group of ants tonight, that was the only way for us to enter the cave, how could we miss it?

Luckily, we weren't far from the entrance of the cave, and we finally got there just before midnight.

At this time, the originally clear night sky, I don't know when there are a few white clouds, the bright moon, disappearing among the clouds, but also to this mysterious valley, add a little weird atmosphere, I don't know why, every time I act in the middle of the night, I always have a sense of illusion, as if in a dream.

Xiao Lei once explained to me that this is a common feeling that ordinary people often have when they are operating at night, which will not only slow down people's reactions, but also reduce people's sensitivity to the surrounding environment, which is very detrimental to achieving dangerous tasks at night. So, they have to go through special training to overcome this happening.

I didn't ask about how he trained, but I did notice that Xiao Lei was the one who reacted the fastest and sharpest during every night operation, so as long as he was there, the three of us felt very down-to-earth and secure.

According to the principle given to us by Xiao Lei, even when we waited for the group of ants to appear at the entrance of the cave, we were always vigilant - we chose a position that was not easy to be attacked, and three people were responsible for observing the surrounding environment, and one person carefully observed the ground, instead of all four people staring at the ground.

I can feel my heart beating wildly, does this method of using ants to guide the way really work? This was the most crucial step in finding the blind man.

But after about twenty minutes, there was still no movement, and I could hear my own heartbeat, the second hand of the clock. Could it be that this method, which took a lot of effort to find, was it in vain?

Just when I was thinking wildly, I suddenly heard Sister Li, who was in charge of observing the ground, extremely excited, and suppressed and shouted in a low voice: "The ants have appeared."

Before she could finish speaking, our eyes all looked at the ground not far away—and sure enough, in a crack in the stone only a few meters away, fluorescent ants the size of a fist were crawling out one after another!

Although I have imagined this scene countless times in my mind, when I actually saw it, I realized how shocking and wonderful this scene was, just like in a science fiction movie!

As the ants crawled towards the hole at a very fast speed, I saw clearly that in addition to the relatively large size and fluorescent body, what was more special was their head - this kind of ant actually had a distinct head, and there were faint facial features on the head, which couldn't help but make me shiver! There was a bladder tightening, and I knew that this physiological response was due to fear.

When the ant at the front of us crawled up to our feet, it suddenly looked up at us with its "face" - I don't know if it should be called "face" - and then made a strange, gurgling cry that was creepy. Fuck, this is an ant, it's clearly a monster.

In addition to Xiao Lei's accident, I, Sister Li, and Hongmei were all stunned by this weird and terrifying ant, and stood there in a hurry, at a loss for a while.

It wasn't until Xiao Lei reminded in a low voice: "Keep up, they are in the hole" that the three of us came to our senses, and then we noticed that there were more than a dozen ants that crawled out, and they quickly crawled into the hole.

The number of ants is much less than we originally thought, because after listening to the Taoist priest's story, we thought that there were a lot of such ants, but I didn't expect that there were more than ten of them, but fortunately Xiao Lei reminded us, otherwise we would really miss it. These ants crawl very fast, almost like a human trot.

We didn't dare to delay any longer, and we didn't think much about it, but immediately followed the ants and touched the hole.
